Chapter 349 Special Training in Chile
FIFA要求32支参赛球队在5月13日前递交30人初始大名单，23人最终名单的最后递交期限是6月2日。

But for Li Guo, he already has a 23-man roster in his heart, because after the European League ends, Li Guo will lead the team to Chile for special training, so the Chinese team is quite special. Although the roster submitted to FIFA is still 30 people, only 23 people followed Li Guo.

The media also understood that these 23 players must be the last players to participate in the World Cup in Brazil. Unless someone is injured, the official list obtained by the media on June 6 must be the same.

Li Guo finally gave up Gao Lin and brought Huang Bowen, and Li Weifeng was also selected at the last moment. After all, if Zhou Dun or Yin Di were injured, Li Weifeng could still play as a central defender. Bringing Li Weifeng was just an insurance policy.

The 23 people are:

Goalkeepers - Wang Dalei, Yang Zhi, Zeng Cheng

Defense line - Mu Fei, Zhou Dun, Yin Di, Geng Chong, Feng Xiaoting, Zhang Chengdong, Zhang Linpeng
Midfielders - Fang Suo, Shen Rui, Zheng Zhi, Chen Deng, Hao Junmin, Qu Bo, Lin Zhijian, Li Weifeng, Huang Bowen, Liao Lisheng
Forward line - Park Shuang, Ji Ke, Chen Gelin
On the other hand, Li Guo has already secured Sun Jihai, he will serve as the leader of the Chinese team this time and go to Brazil together.

*****
Valparaíso, a seaport city in the northwest of the Chilean capital, is like a small European town, quiet and beautiful.

There is a professional team in this city called the San Diego Rangers, and Chinese fans probably have little impression of it.

This club is the home team of Elias Figueroa, the three-time South American Footballer of the Year and South America's number one iron guard.

But that's too far away. If you talk about it a little closer, everyone should know that David Pizarro, the midfielder of Inter Milan, made his debut in San Diego Rangers.

The training base of the Chinese team this time is to borrow the training base of the Rangers Club in San Diego. Of course, in return, Li Guo promised to play a game with the Rangers Club before leaving Chile, and all the income from the tickets will go to the Rangers Club.

The special training time planned by Li Guo is two weeks, which should be enough for the team to recover their physical fitness and adjust the time difference.

First of all, jet lag is a big problem. In his previous life, Li Guo stayed up late to watch most of the World Cup games in Brazil. Except for the game between Côte d’Ivoire and Japan at 9 am, the other games were played in the middle of the night and after 4 am. For Chinese fans, watching the World Cup in Brazil is a bit painful.

For Chinese players, except for Zhou Dun, no one has the experience of playing in South America. Both Europe and China have a time difference with Brazil. The first feeling that this brings is sleepiness and wanting to sleep.

During the World Cup in Brazil, the biological clocks of most players were still in the early morning, which is the time to dream.

The training of the Chinese team has adopted the technology synchronized with that of Europe, using sports vests to monitor the physical condition of the players in real time. Just by looking at the data, Li Guo can understand the physical condition of the players.

"Doctor, the children are not doing well."

"Yes, this time is different from the warm-up match. The official competition is about to start. The players are more nervous and more prone to fatigue."

The memory of the college entrance examination is still very deep for Li Guo. Li Guo understands that mock exams are different from formal exams. The last time he came to warm up was just playing tricks, but this time he came for real.

"Then what should we do? You can't do nothing and let the children go back to sleep, right?"

"Use it as a game instead of training."

"play games?"

Li Guo thought to himself that they are not primary school students anymore, what kind of game are they playing.

This is the most popular training method at present. It is usually carried out at the beginning or end of the training. For example, like rugby, you run with the ball in your hand, and you win if you run to the designated area.

Or don't use any part of the body, just use the header to pass, the goal is still the same, goal.

"Okay, listen to you."

Changing the way of training, the effect is still obvious, at least I feel happy, but can I fully adjust the jet lag in time before the game?Li Guo is still not sure.

Generally, tourists adjust to the time difference very quickly, but football games are different, and the required intensity is very different.

In his previous life, Japan and South Korea both made it to the round of 16 in South Africa, while in Brazil they were abused so badly that Li Guo felt that jet lag was one of the factors.

During dinner, Mu Fei became mischievous again, and said to Zhou Dun: "Captain, this is where you grew up, is there anything interesting, take me to have fun."

Mu Fei's tone was like that of a dandy who is going to visit such a place. The teammates at the table laughed, waiting to see a good show, and dared to be presumptuous in front of the captain.

Zhou Dun's face was dark and he didn't say anything, Li Guo interrupted: "Mu Fei, how do you want to have fun?"

"It's nothing, like going to a museum, a nursing home or something."

puff.

The teammates finally couldn't help it anymore, "Mu Fei, be careful in South America, I heard it's not safe here."

Mu Fei patted his chest and said, "It's okay, I grew up in Brazil, as long as I run fast, I'll be fine."

Li Guo said, "Mu Fei, you'd better get into trouble before June 6nd."

Mu Fei asked stupidly, "Why?"

"Because I still have time to change the list."

Pfft, everyone laughed more happily.

In fact, a smile can relax everyone's tense nerves. In addition, Li Guo also asked the nutritionist to give the players extra meals, a small amount and many times, so as to ensure nutrition and not lose weight at the same time.

The climate in Valparaíso is really good. It is neither cold nor hot at night, and it does not feel like winter. It is very similar to the climate on the Mediterranean coast of Europe.

During the day, the players yawned all over the sky, but at night, the players were full of energy, but at this time they had to sleep to adjust to the jet lag.

Li Guo didn’t want to sleep either, he lay on the bed and swiped his phone. The top 32 teams except China also announced their rosters one after another. Li Guo took a look at the German team. Gomez was not selected. He broke his leg in Florence last year, and the unlucky Reus was injured again.

Li Guo looked at the Brazilian team's roster again, Ronaldinho and Kaka were not selected, Li Guo was thinking, if Kaka was selected, would the result be different?
At least after Neymar's injury, the Brazilian team will not suddenly lose its spiritual leader, but history cannot be assumed, and Scolari does not know what will happen in the future.

Just when Li Guo swiped the phone, a call came from the phone. Looking at the caller ID, it was a number that had never appeared before. When he picked it up, Li Guo was stunned. It turned out that the most familiar stranger on the phone was Milu.
